Join MASL for a unique day of professional development focusing on collaboration. The day will begin with a panel of collaborative partners including librarians, teachers, and administrators who will discuss the programs they have developed. A variety of quality workshops will also be offered including book talks, technology tools, and more.This year we will also host something new… facilitated collaboration.

Partners or groups can meet to discuss project ideas and be led through a collaboration session. Our hope is that MASL members use this opportunity to bring along a colleague: teacher, literacy coach, reading specialist, administrator-- anyone with whom they would like to collaborate. Not only will you have time to build a stronger working relationship but your colleague will also see what is happening in libraries across the state and gain a deeper appreciation for your work.

Bring a colleague or come alone – Just join in! Don’t worry, the schedule is designed to allow participants to build their own professional development and is flexible enough for individuals or collaborative partners.

Looking forward to seeing lots of collaboration and learning. Contact amy.taylor@leesummit.k12.mo.us with any questions.
